3. TRANSPARENCY
Tom provides detailed costing models revealing where the money is spent, overseeing beverage consumption, crew catering and provides a summary of the budgeted outcome and actual outcome post event
4. UNIQUENESS
You and your clients deserve unique food and beverage experiences and not the standard packages being sold by the venues for their advantage; Tom makes that happen

8. MENU-FORENSICS
Tom dissects the menus and reconstruct them to suit the client, the event and the budget
9. PROFITABILITY
Tom almost always return a surplus on the budget as a consequence by ‘buying smart’. When there are minimum spends I use the budget to it optimum capacity. Achieving maximum value for your budget is his objective
10. VALUE
Tom uses the budget to its fullest and buy far more than venues offer for the same money, returning an ROI far great than the budget if bought by someone less experienced.
Your event food and beverage budget is not a plate of canapés to be gobbled-up by venues or caterers who want a one-size-fits-all approach. Tom believes equipped with the right intel you are able to maximise value from the resource. You are unique, and your client proposal is unique. It deserves the attention and management that he can provide to deliver a superior outcome and unmatched value.
